| 11. | The two otolith receptors appear to have differing resonances that may also explain their responses.
|
| 12. | SCC sends adaptive signals, unlike the otolith organs whose signals does not adapt over time.
|
| 13. | Often, the fish species can be identified from distinct morphological characteristics of an isolated otolith.
|
| 14. | Embed or mount the otolith 2.
|
| 15. | The core of the otolith corresponds to the earliest larval period of the fish s life.
|
| 16. | As the otolith grows, new calcium carbonate, usually aragonite but sometimes vaterite, crystals form.
|
| 17. | Whichever cell aligns anteriorly will become the otolith, while the posterior cell will form the ocellus.
|
| 18. | When the head is in a normal upright position, the otolith presses on the sensory hair cell receptors.
|
| 19. | Combined with otolith annuli, scientists can add how old fish were when they traveled through different water bodies.
|
| 20. | Somatogravic illusions, on the other hand, occur as a result of linear accelerations stimulating the otolith organs.
